The fabric has been printed in the UK with my original surf & swimmer design, & is totally unique. My illustrations are inspired by my family's bellyboarding heritage. My grandparents both grew up in Perranporth in Cornwall, & my grandmother's family started surfing & making wooden boards after the First World War. I remember my great Uncle Arthur taking his wooden belly board down to the beach at Perranporth when he was well into his 70s! The World Bellyboard Championships are organised by the National Trust & take place in Cornwall each year in September. No wetsuits are allowed & prizes are won for the best outfits, which involve a lot of flowery hats, fifties swimsuits & all in one knitted stripey costumes for the men which sag upon contact with water. I went to boarding school in Cornwall, & during half term holidays my Granny Tamblyn would occupy my brothers & me by showing us her family albums of photos taken on the beach, pointing out the faces & names of gangs of cousins, great uncles, aunties once removed (whatever that means) near the beach huts that no longer exist, from summers long, long ago.
